Speaking of getting her dancing shoes on, Kirsty said: “I’ve always been a huge fan of ‘Strictly’, so am very excited to be taking part in the show this year. Sport and fitness have always been a big part of my life but dancing is an entirely new challenge for me! I can’t wait to get started!”

Iwan also said “I’m extremely excited and scared at the thought of taking part in ‘Strictly’. I love watching the show and I can’t believe I’m swapping my running spikes for dancing shoes. I used to be quick at running around the track and I’m just hoping my dance partner doesn’t leave me behind.”
